TIA

It's an option. F55. My 2010 GS manual 4LT did not include it.

I agree with C6in816. First of all they are discontinued by GM. You may find some rears but not the fronts and if you do find them they are very expensive. I have them in my 2011 ZR1 and fortunately I found a slightly used set as spares. A friend went with coil overs. Most people can't tell the difference between Tour and Sport and the ride in Tour can be harsh (to some) depending on tires and the road. I have the Jim Mero recalibrated ride control module in mine and ride is much better but given a choice I'd just go with a set of Bilsteins. Do a search. There is a lot of info and opinions on them.

I did the Jim Mero and mine is still stiff as a board it lifts the rears off. The way I see it I can't believe that 2 shocks could both go bad at same time. My fronts are fine. I thought the Mero would fix it. This is a mess

Maybe I misspoke. I was talking about Selective Ride Control.

Ahhhh, thanks! My C6 is the first of 8 Vettes I’ve owned that was NOT from the 60’s. Much appreciated!
while I’m at it, she’s a GS, does that mean she has the Z51 Pkg? (6 Speed Manual)

Look in the glove box for a sticker. It has your VIN and all your options printed on it.

You're good, that's what this forum is for use it to you're advantage. He's right glove box tells all. I miss my Z51 didn't realize how good it was till I got F55 don't get me wrong F55 is good when it works as it should the very first thing they say is ohhhh you need new shocks and no one knows how to fix them other than replacing them so brotha you dodged the bullet on the suspension.

Hello C6,

I'm not sure if you noticed on my website but my calibrations come with 100% moneyback guarantee. If you are unsatisfied, feel free to contact me and I will provide you the original calibration and refund your money.

One question I have is did you ever replace any of your shocks to coincide with the upgrade. If so, did you have the car re-zeroed by a dealership? If you have not, that could very well be the cause of your observations.

Thank you, Jim.

Yup, I checked. Glad I’m in good shape!
Thank you and thanks to all!!!

Thank you, Jim.
And, I'm not sure why when I emailed you twice that it hadn't worked to any avail for communication on results. I didn't get a response but it's okay I understand people get busy and mechanically after reading about you're product I ASSUMED it would fix my situation, but in no way would I not recommend you're product to anyone not my intent at all and certainly didn't mean to hijack this thread. For me it just didn't fix my problem and since I'm being honest my car was stiff as a board prior to you product so it didn't work for me readers should understand I apparently have a problem else where I dunno BUT I did try to reach out to you for advise @ 2 different email addresses. I'm stuck with this and will have to go to the stealership which is what I was trying to to prevent.

Please contact me at jim@jimmero.com. I am pretty good at keeping up with messages, but I can't say for sure I did not miss yours. Thank you.
